District 9 // Chanlix [Completed]

XI: The Sun

     Chris later woke up to a scream followed by a cannon. He only opened his eyes, not moving out of fear. He glanced over to see Felix, frozen, looking to the direction of the scream.

     "I wonder who that was." He said to himself quietly. He turned back to the fire and began braiding grass through a ring he had made. It had little flowers in it. A flower crown?

     Chris began to feel his face heat up as his heart beat quickly. What the hell? He's so gentle... And childish... Why does it make my heart... He wondered. Quickly, he closed his eyes as Felix stood up and walked closer. He could feel Felix getting closer and closer until he placed the flower crown on Chris' head.

     Chris felt panicked, opening his eyes as Felix got closer. The latter jumped back and Chris quickly reached out and grabbed him, pulling him towards his chest to stop him from falling into the campfire.

     "Be careful." He whispered. "And you shouldn't have a fire going this late. Others will see the light." He told him. Felix was too far taken aback to hear what he said, staring at Chris' concerned face.

     They were put into the arena to kill each other, not to become friends. Yet Felix couldn't help but be entranced by Chris' soft demeanor despite what was going on.

     His heart sped and his tummy turned and his eyes were wider than the moon. Chris looked away, a bit embarrassed to be stared at in awe for so long. He let out a small whimper and kept his eyes away.

     "I'm gonna put out the fire, so come here so we can keep the body warmth." Felix just about passed out when he said this. I'm gonna have a heart attack, I swear. That's how I'm dying. This isn't good. Felix thought.

     Felix just obeyed him, silently nodding as he put out the fire and then wrapped the small blanket around the two. Chris loosely held him, his breath tickling against Felix's neck. They were quiet, but the silence was broken by Chris.

     "Felix, I have a question." Chris said. "Are you... into guys or something?" He asked. Felix pretended he was asleep, but Chris could feel his heart beat through his back. He pretended he didn't notice, allowing Felix to feign sleep. "That's okay if you are though..." He said quietly. "I am too."

     He smiled to himself as Felix's heart sped up faster. Wanting to tease the younger boy more, he moved his arms, sliding himself closer and tightly hugging him around his chest. Felix could hear his heart in his ears, the blood pulsing and deafening him.

     If he does anything else, I might die. He panicked.

     Surprisingly, Felix woke up the next morning. He didn't feel too good, but he got a few hours of sleep. He moved around and noticed there was no one beside him. He furrowed his eyebrows and sat up, glancing around. Chris wasn't there.

     Felix was confused. His eyes widened when he realised his things weren't there either. All that was left was his blanket.

     "Shit." He said to himself. "Shit shit shit!" He tried to keep quiet but he was so angry he could barely keep it in. He looked under logs and leaves for his bag but it was nowhere to be found. "Fucking Chris. Goddammit!"

     "What about me?" He heard from behind him. He quickly turned to the voice, eyes wide and blinking rapidly.

     "Asshole, don't do that. I thought you just left." Felix sighed. Chris chuckled and shook his head.

     "Nah, I wouldn't do that to you. I needed your bag to collect some things." He said. He opened the bag and pulled out a dead rabbit. "Like this." He told him, holding the animal in front of his face.

     "Oh. Anything else?" Felix asked. Chris took out a handful of berries and Felix knocked them out of his hand. "Those are poisonous!" He whisper-yelled.

     "I know. That's the point. I thought I might be able to feed them to someone. If not, a rabbit or a deer trap. They like berries." Chris pointed out. Felix hummed.

     "I see."
